	I agree with what the draft says, and I like option 1 in the solutions
	section (use /64) the most.

>- forget about the whole thing, it's their problem!
>- informational or BCP individually?
>- informational or BCP through ipv6 w.g.?
>- discussion added to address architecture draft / coming IPv6 node 
>requirements, ... ?
>- other thoughts?

	not sure where this kind of document should be placed - informational
	RFC?
